Information about Nagsasa Cove
This picturesque cove was formed after the Mt. Pinatubo eruption in 1991, when volcanic ash transformed its shoreline into a unique blend of grayish-white sand. Today, it remains a must-visit for travelers looking to escape the hustle and bustle and immerse themselves in the raw beauty of nature. Another scenic alternative is a tour of Anawangin Cove in Zambales Province.
How to Get There
Nagsasa Cove is accessible via San Antonio, Zambales, which serves as the main jump-off point for island hopping and camping in the area. From Manila, travelers can take a bus bound for Olongapo City or Iba, Zambales, then ride a tricycle to Pundaquit Beach, where boats depart for Nagsasa. The boat ride takes about 45 minutes to an hour, offering stunning views of the coastline and nearby islands.
For adventure enthusiasts, trekking is an alternative way to reach the cove. Hikers can take a scenic trail from Brgy. Pundaquit, passing through rolling hills and forests before arriving at the beach.
You can also book Zambales tours that include Nagsasa Cove as part of their itinerary, making travel arrangements more convenient for visitors.
